Axton's POV What will you do when the opportunity for revenge lies before your eyes? I would take the opportunity without hesitation if the question were aimed at me. What was I thinking to be able to ask this question? Hmm… Let's rewind what happened between Dylan and me in that brief conversation. |Flashback ON| "Axton, there's something I want to talk to you about." I averted my arms that were covering my eyes. Rudy stood looking at me expectantly. "Who?" I asked. "Dylan, he's out front, waiting for you," said Rudy. Wait. What happened to this prison? I'm apathetic, but as far as I know, he's not on the same floor with us. Even though it's dinner time, is it okay for the inmates to roam freely like this? But that's not important. Instead, I became increasingly curious about what he wanted to tell me, which seemed important. "Okay thanks." I got up from my bed and headed straight for the cell door. But, don't forget, I also patted Rudy's shoulder as a sign of intimacy
Robert's POV"Ouch!"My shrill voice boomed throughout the clinic. The face of the guard who was treating my wound looked sour because I was the one who kept screaming.How can I be silent? It is so hurt and painful. It felt like a very thick and robust acid had dripped the wound."Could you lower your voice a little?!" cried Monti."Yeah, what your friend said is true, my head is already spinning hearing your screams that were heard earlier. Even though I haven't completely cleaned your blood," said the guard."But it hurts so much, and I can't hold back the pain. So I'm sorry, sir..."I put on a sad face, hoping that Monti and this handsome-looking guard would understand the screams coming from my mouth.They both sighed in unison as if they were tired of my excuses."You have to help me to cover his mouth because I will press the source of his wound," said the guard to Monti.I widened my eyes, and it felt too much for me to be treated like that. However, before I could argue, Monti
Axton's POV The long-awaited day arrived. I can't wait to hear what Dylan says about the revenge he promised me. Is it interesting? Or does it make me want to punch him in the face? Who knows. One thing I realized, I was very excited. After a dozen years in prison, this morning is the morning that makes me the happiest. I woke up earlier than the people in this cell. The sun was not yet bright enough to illuminate the world. "Are you awake, sir?" I turned to the source of the voice directly behind me as I got out of bed. "You're not sleeping, Robert?" I asked. Robert shook his head slowly. His face was pale, and his eyes were also black. Of course, this kid must still be thinking about the threat from Liam's friend. We all tried to calm him down last night. "That sentence still haunts you, right?" Robert looked at me intensely, and he didn't respond. But, I could tell from his eyes that he was scared to death. "Didn't we tell you not to think about it? There are ten people who
Axton's POV I still think about Robert. Even the food eaten was tasteless. I'm not exaggerating. The kid and this uncomfortable feeling are tormenting me a bit. "I'll ask the officer to deliver food to Robert. He can't shut himself up in fear like that," said Monti, who sat across from me. I looked over at him, and the idea sounded perfect. "You're right, I'm sure the officers would understand and allow Robert to eat in the cell," I said. Monti nodded. He then got up and walked towards the officer standing not far from our table. "He should have listened to what you said this morning. I overheard the advice you gave him, if I were him, I would show my teeth and brag about people who want to oppress me. He's already in the most respected cell in this prison, plus Axton's arrival. So who's going to shake G28?" said Tony proudly. Several other members also chuckled because of that sentence. They agreed with what Tony said. I just sat there, listening to the conversation that was go
Axton's POV I went back to the library. When they arrived, Monti was already tidying the books from the dust. "Good job, Monti. I think you're a lot more diligent today, usually you'd just sit in the corner and order Robert to do the work I asked him to do." Monti chuckled. He scratched his head, which I'm sure is not itchy. "Life changes slowly, I don't want to come across as lazy all the time, sir. By the way, have you met Dylan yet?" asked Monty. I nodded and said, "Yeah, a meeting that wasted my time. But, it doesn't matter at all." "But maybe for him it is something important, sir," said Monti. "I don't care, he's just a stupid man full of ambition. I was surprised by people like them who always thought I could be easily lured by revenge. I'm not that easily influenced. After all, I'm not someone who can make them rise and become the number one cartel like D'Angelo. If I wanted to, I'd better start my own cartel." Monti looked at me with a happy face. I don't know what mak
Robert's POV I can't control myself. Really. If you think I'm exaggerating, it's probably because you've never felt weak like me. Yes, I was always wrong to be condescending to anyone. As a result, until now, I have become a loser who is consistently underestimated. How long do I have to do this? My head has been spinning the same question. I've been pensive for almost half a day, but my courage is still shrinking. I still haven't touched the breakfast given by the clerk this morning. That threatening sentence killed me slowly. I lay back down myself. I've been like an automatic toy every fifteen minutes, changing the position to a sitting place. I'm so messed up today. Even though what Axton said was true, I didn't have to be afraid of things that didn't necessarily happen. "Shit, you managed to get everyone to applaud for you! You are a charismatic man, I admit it!" The voice was unmistakable. I immediately rose from my position and saw Axton and Monti standing in front of t
Robert's POV He kept looking at me. Although I don't know his name, Liam's friend looks at me like a delicious meal. "Robert, move here." Axton snapped me out of the dreadful sight that had trapped me. I followed what he said, and we swapped seats. Now, Liam's friend will probably only look at my back. "You don't need to pay attention to it, you better just care about the food in front of you, Robert," Axton said. "Right, why did you have to see Orlando. Just let him stare at you like that, he won't dare to bother you, we will protect you, Robert," Tony said, followed by nods from the other members. I lost control of my mouth. I can't respond to what they say. My heart is broken. I'm afraid of that man named Orlando. "His name is Orlando? I just found out," said Monti. "Yes, his name is Orlando. Orlando Archerry Black, he's Liam's lover," Tony said casually. "One question that bothers me, why is he bothering Robert? I mean, doesn't he get angry and jealous when Liam keeps try
Axton's POV I was curious about what the warden would say to Robert. Is something beneficial to Robert? Or is there something else? Honestly, after Theodore incident, I have a trust issue with the officers here. I couldn't bear to see Robert being hurt again like yesterday. But, the kid is too weak, and if it happened to Monti, maybe I can still understand. "What?" asked Monty. I accidentally saw him just thinking about it. "Nothing." "Aren't you curious what the warden would say to Robert?" asked Monty. His handsome and annoying face looks so curious. "Announcement, to the thirty people who have registered to be volunteers to clean the attic, please gather in front of the library soon." The announcement over the loudspeaker brought the conversation between Monti and me to a halt. We both got up from our seats. But, of course, our action reaped question marks from other members. They didn't think that Monti and I had volunteered ourselves to be volunteers. "Damn! You two helpe
